Belgium: Falun Gong Practitioners Hold Anti-Torture Exhibition in Ghent (Photos)


(Clearwisdom.net) On Saturday, September 17th, Falun Dafa practitioners from Belgium and Holland organized an anti-torture exhibition in Ghent to expose the brutal persecution of Falun Gong in China and to collect signatures to rescue orphans of Falun Gong practitioners who have been persecuted to death.

Practitioners came to the site very early to set up the exhibition. Next to the exhibition, truth-clarifying materials in different languages were made available to people on a table. Before the setup was even completed, many local residents as well as tourists came to the site to find out what was going on. As the site is located at a T-intersection, there were many passersby. There were also a lot of people who spotted the exhibition afar and came to find out more.

People were shocked by the ongoing brutal persecution against practitioners and found it was hard to understand why such a persecution could happen and have lasted so long. Many stood there quietly, listening to practitioners' explanation and reading information from posters and fliers. Most of them then came to the information table to sign a petition to rescue orphans of Falun Gong practitioners.

Some cyclists who would typically pass right through the intersection also made special stops to learn about the truth. A young girl came with her bike, standing quietly in front of the anti-torture exhibition for a while and then read the posters unfolded on the ground. Tears rolled down her face, and she signed her name on the petition.

Practitioners cooperated very well during the one-day event. Some reenacted torture methods, some distributed truth-clarifying materials and clarified the truth to people face-to-face, some demonstrated the five sets of exercises and sent righteous thoughts. There were also some practitioners who made delicate paper lotus flowers and distributed them to children. The event successfully concluded at 6 p.m. A local TV station came and videotaped the event and interviewed practitioners.
